Views of Multnomah Falls and upstairs bedroom and breakfast nook. Ashiatsu massage and organic facials bookable by request.

The Gorge Onsen is located just off the Columbia River on a small neighborhood road.

At the heart of our space are wellness facilities including a tea room, yoga room/treatment room with a two person infarred sauna. yoga mats, bolster, straps and blocks are provided for guests to use.

Just outside is a spring fed, chemical-free, deep cedar barrel hot tub set to 103F and an adjacent claw foot cold plunge. Steps away is an outdoor shower and 6 person wood fired sauna house.

The yard features a menagerie of edible plants- fruit trees, blueberry bushes, grape vines and a large organic garden during summer months.

The acre lot features multiple hang zones with a solarium tea room, yoga room, 2 fire pits and hammock zones.

The inside is clean and welcoming with lots of natural light and quality appliances.

Between a stand of fir trees and the Columbia River are train tracks. Trains run approximately every hour and are faintly audible inside the house.

There are friendly neighbors to the East who are mostly blocked from sight by a wood fence. Road and all other sides are private.

Beautiful and serene stay on the Gorge
A beautiful and peaceful stay along the Columbia River. The sauna was what drew us to the property originally (and which totally delivered), though it was the small and tasteful details that ended up making the experience an unforgettable one. Would recommend staying at the Gorge Onsen without any hesitation to anyone looking for a unique getaway.

A true garden spa
Loved the fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers - and the sake was a nice touch! Good location to visit the Columbia River Gorge, Portland, Mount Hood, Willamette Valley and the Oregon Coast. Oh, and stargazing was awesome!

The Gorge Onsen
Our group really enjoyed our stay at The Gorge Onsen. We took advantage of all the amenities on the property besides the fire pit. The house has a very cozy, quiet and peaceful feel to it. We were gone most of the day exploring the sites of the Gorge (and Portland) but we could've just as easily stayed at the house all day and enjoyed the propery. We were there for three nights but wish we would've stayed for at least five. Looking forward to returning one day! We visited in July but seems like a great year-around destination.
